Dave

Dave is a Blacksmith first encountered on the Frontier being attacked by Redcoats. After taking down the Redcoats he explains he is a deserter and they had the job of taking him back in. Connor offers him a place on the homestead. The next of his Homestead Missions involve Dave helping Norris impress Myriam. Afterwards more Redcoats come in the next couple of missions to catch him but the village bands together and kills the Redcoats making it unwise to risk further soldiers for one deserter. He lives right across from Ellen so first house on right. He'll assist you in crafting.
